MGM has organized the “Hengqin-Macao Cultural Tourism New Quality Productive Forces Training Program” for the third consecutive year. This year’s program was jointly organized by MGM, the Labour Affairs Bureau of Macao SAR (DSAL), and the Talent Development and Social Security Bureau of Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin. Focusing on emerging topics such as smart tourism and the integration of culture and tourism, the program aims to enhance team members’ professionalism and innovation capabilities, nurture high-caliber talent aligned with industry needs, further deepen Hengqin-Macao collaboration, and support Macao’s appropriate economic diversification.

Participants gained insights from expert-led sessions.

The program combined industry learning with corporate visits, covering the latest trends and applications of smart technologies in the tourism and hospitality sectors, as well as emerging developments in the Hengqin-Macao cultural tourism industry. Through expert-led sessions, participants gained insights into the latest advancements in the AI sector, innovative cultural tourism experiences, and other emerging fields, while deepening their understanding of evolving market dynamics and sustainability trends. In addition to classroom learning, participants visited the Traditional Chinese Medicine Technology and Creativity Museum, Hengqin International Film Studio, and Yowant Technology, as well as other representative technology enterprises and cultural tourism projects. These visits provided first-hand exposure to cutting-edge industry developments, broadened team members’ cross-sector perspectives, and further stimulated innovative thinking.

This year’s program attracted a total of 160 MGM team members. Since its launch in 2024, the initiative has provided training opportunities to over 720 participants, continuously strengthening the talent pool for Macao’s cultural tourism industry and injecting new momentum into Hengqin-Macao integration.
